Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. - (1.) Present petition has been filed by four students who are aggrieved against the decision taken by the Equivalence Committee of the respondent University to deny them admission in Ph.D. Programme. It is pleaded in the writ petition that petitioners having successfully completed their Masters are eligible to be enrolled for pursuing their Ph.D. studies. Hence, in the writ petition it is prayed that fresh allotment list dated 3.8.2016 (Annx.11) issued by respondent No.1, Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, Jaipur, be set aside. A perusal of impugned list of provisional allotment of Supervisors reveal that it is stated therein that the Equivalence Committee has found the petitioners ineligible as they have done two years M.Sc. Medical instead of requirement of three years course by the respondent University.
(2.) It is averred in the writ petition that the respondent Rajasthan University of Health Sciences on 7.1.2016 had issued a notification inviting online applications for admission through entrance test to Pre Ph.D. Programme in the faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy and Para Medical Sciences. Last date for filing online application form was 25.1.2016. It is further averred in the writ petition that Rajveer Singh Rathore, petitioner No.1, on 19.8.2014 obtained degree in M.Sc.
